deviation of the probability distribution of
the random variable X, which can take
only the values 3, 5, and 7, given that

Mean=162/30=5.4 VARIANCE=2.5066
Sd = 1.5832
2. A bakeshop owner determines the number of boxes of pandesal that
are delivered each day. Find the mean of the probability distribution
shown. If the manager stated that 35 boxes of pandesal were delivered
in one day, do you think that this is a believable claim?
Probability
Number of Boxes (X) X ⋅P(X)
P(X)
35 0.10 3.5

36 0.20 7.2 No, because the average of the


number of boxes of pandesal is 37.1
37 0.30 11.1
whereas, the claim is 35 boxes
38 0.30 11.4
of panddesal.
39 0.10 3.9

Mean = 37.1
